muon no longer asking for authentication (and failing)

[Robert Marshall]

Starting with the update to apt of this week (and the problem occurring
on that update) when muon/apper informs me that there are upgrades, if I
view them and attempt to upgrade I no longer get asked for
authentication (my password) and then the upgrade fails because it
doesn't have (sudo) permissions :-(

I'm not aware of changing anything, has something else changed, is
anyone else seeing this? 

Before this change a dialog used to pop up asking for my password, I
entered it and the update was done. For the moment I'm doing command
line `sudo apt-get upgrade`..
